Drug Smuggling can be highly profitable, reflecting not just from a high demand, small volume product, but a huge price differential thanks to the "war on drugs". This is maintained by groups such as the DEA or the US Customs and Border Protection who try to prevent small groups from importing drugs across national boundaries. Drug smuggling, like weapons smuggling, is often misrepresented by the commercially-controlled media as a matter principally of small groups of individuals. This obscures the degree to which the deep state - and the CIA in particular - is responsible for drug trafficking.
Misdirection by Corporate Media
Attention is focused by the commercially-controlled media on individual small-scale attempts to evade detection by authorities,ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/bizarre-smuggling-attempts-that-went-wrong-in-pictures/sofa-made-recycled-material-lorry-13-tons-cannabis-discovered/</ref>. This stays firmly within the realms of the official narrative and the official opposition narrative - ill-advised, maybe, but the "war on drugs" is a sincere ttempt to reduce consumption of and trafficking in drugs, for the good of society. Comparatively little attention is given to stories such as Cocaine 1 and Cocaine 2 or Western Global Airlines N545JN which reveal the extent to which the establishment is complicit in drug smuggling. Although the DEA cited the 2006 Mexico DC-9 drug bust as an example of their campaign to intercept smuggling by sea[1] it received minimal attention from the corporate media.
Animal trafficking
...
People Trafficking
People are trafficked, e.g. for exploitation in the sex trade.
Cash
Cash is smuggled internationally as a part of money laundering efforts, which may be on a large scale. In 2016, Western Global Airlines N545JN flew 67 tonnes of newly printed banknotes from Germany to South Africa. A spokesman for the South African Reserve Bank explained the delivery was “a consignment of South African banknotes that was produced overseas as part of the SARB's annual production plan.”[2]
